the group had just returned to the town they had called home fifty years ago. "mommy can i go see if the pack is home?" a girl in her late teens asked. im sure they would love to see you honey go ahead." another teen said whoo looked to be her sister. "yeah but take your mutt with you hes stinking up my car again!" a blonde yelled out. "oh please ive showered twice in the last 5 hours i cant smell." you smeel worse now you smell like wet dog now out of my car!" the blonde screamed as she pushed the boy out of her car. "we have a visitor eveyone" a girl with pixie hair called out.
"hello my name is kara" the girl said extending out her hand. "hi im alice. this is edward bella jasper emmeit and rosalie the two tht ran off are renesmee and jacob our parents left already." "cool well um i guess i should get to the point um 50 years ago you met my brother who was a half vampire like renesmee well after the volurti killed my father my family sort of parted ways. ive heard so much about your clan that i was uh wondering if i could join you all. i wont be a burden or anything i just didnt want to walk the earth alone and all." the girl says as she shyly looks down at the ground. "sure you can join us" alice peps up. "yes but you should tell us the rest of your reasons i can see you have more to tell us" edward says. "well um i also wanted to um stay around because ive heard that you al found your mates and i was kinda hoping to find mine while with you." kara said as she blushed looking down. alices beams with joy "oh i can help you with that part we can have so much fun looking over the guys around here." jasper gives off a growl. "i will only look sweety geez." she says giggling.
next day at school
"hey edward whos that guy over there?" kara asks. "hmmmm well from what i can tell from the girls thoughts around here hes Antoniumbut Immortali most just call him anthony. hes new here but from what ive heard also is that he helps out alot and he hunts for food for the families around town cant afford food for winter. all in all not much is known about him." "maybe you should introduce your self to him kara you seem quiet intrested in him." jasper said with a smirk. "and how would you... oh wait damn you and your powers jasper thats not fair." she she walked up the the boy sitting alone at the table a bouncy blonde come running up to him and sitting in his lap. as she looks up at kara with an evil look "anthony-kun" she purrs in his ear "when will you come over to my house to study?" "when you stop clinging to me and leaving me alone to eat in peace" the boy says.
kara starts to walk away when the girl comes up to her. "hi im kelly. just so you know since your new here anthony is mine ive claimed him." she says with an evil gleam in her eyes. "so if you knw whats good for you, you'll stay clear of him. he doesn't want some new girl trash like you he prefers a sophisticated women like me."
"if your going to put words in my mouth they might as well be the right words women." anthony growls sanding behind her.
"oh hi anthony i was just offering to show the new girl around." kelly said.
"liar, i heard what you said i dont belong to anyone understand that and stop flinching im not violent either, i wont hit you." he turns to kara "if you ever need someone to show you around i would be happy to kara." he said with a familiar voice.
he knows my name? but how, ive never met me before. "um thanks." she said blushing.
"no problem." he turns around kelly following giving kara an evil scowl."Principle Princlen i need you to excusse me from class today i need to give mark his order of deer." he yells to the principal as he walks out the cafetiria.
"wow how did he know your name kara your new here we barely know you." alice asked in wonderment.
"i dont know but he seemed familiar like from my childhood." kara answered.
from the back of the group emmet coughs" um kara that brings up a point. how old are you?" he asks
"EMMET how dare you ask a women her name." rosalie yells.
kara giggles "oh its no problem im about 55 or 56, why do you ask?"
"oh i waqs just wondering." emmet mummbles rubbing he head from were roasalie smacked him.
later that day after school
"kelly how many times do i have to tell you, you cant come hunting with me." anthony said by the his dirtbike clearly annoyed.
"but anthony-kun i wanna go though." she begs leaning up against him arms on his chest.
anthony looks up locking eyes with kara. he looks down at keely grabing her shoulders "i said no end of story besides you would scare away my dinner."
"i can be quiet if i want." she said pouting.
anthony lets out a loud laugh." no you cant." he put on his helmet riding out of the parking lot going slowly past kara looking at her one last time before reving the bike. his sent lingers behind catching karas attention. that scent, so familiar, i havent smelled that in 45 years it couldn't be could it, she thought to herself as she got in the car. flashes of Escudo flashed in her mind bringing a blush to her face. she hadnt seen him in 45 years it was possible he was dead. no mortal man could be alive and if he was he would be very old. though many things Escudo did were far beyond his age. he taught her to hunt, to love life, and above all never hurt those that could not stand even ground with her or those that she could not stand ground with. she had fallin in love with him the 5 years he taought her and still did love him but there was no way she would ever see or meet a man close enough to even remind her of escudo."escudo." she whispered.
"hhhhmmmmm did you say something?" alice asked from the front seat of the bmw.
"oh no just thinking about the past."kara replied, blushing again as she remebered the day she bandaged escudo's ribs after a boar attack had caught him off gaurd. the feel of his skin under her hand. the warmth that spread through her fingers and up her arm. the low husky growl from his throat when she would run her hand up his chest, and the blush that would follow as she caught herself ogoling him.
edward clears his throat" please kara can you keep those thoughts to yourself. their creeping me out, god if i was gay i would be asking for more of those thoughts but im not so please keep it down a notch like pg or something."
"oh sorry" she replies blushing more.
next morning
i have to find out who he is. kara thought to herself as she walked to her locker turning the corner spotting all the girls around her locker all talking kelly in the middle yelling and complaining. as she got closer kelly saw her and starting screaming at her." who do you think you are bitch. who the fuck sent you flowers an not me? hmmm? you think that since your new you can make your moves on any guy here and make him yours? get this through your head, i run this school. my dad is the principal if i wanted him to i can have him kick you out."
kara just looked up at her with an angry look." listen i could care less who your dad is or who you think you are so if u would please move away from my locker so i can go to class." kara just walks up to her locker to see white lillys across her locker. her favorite flower how could anyone know this was her flower of all the ones in the world they picked this. only... escudo it had to be him which ment he was alive. but no one in town was even close to his age for him to be looked at the locket around her locker the one she thought she lost so long ago she still had the key around her neck. she opened the lock and inside it read. life is balance balance is power but the greatest power is love. it was what escudo taught her to live in the circle of life and respect the balance and to love. she looked around hoping to see him. she caught anthony standing in a corner staring at her before she could move kelly blocked her path.
"what gay nonsense is this? balance love life? what are you some emo kid." kelly smirked when she say kara not paying attention to her she turned around to see what kara was staring at. when she saw it was anthony she turned around and got in kara's face and screamed" you keep your eyes and hands off him bitch!"
kara looked at kelly"your not my boss so dont expect me to turn tail and run i will do as i please." and with that she took her books and turned to class.
later that day
"hey anthony we need one more for soccer you willing to join?"mark yelled across the parking lot.
"yeah sure just let me go home and get dressed." anthony replied before getting on his bike.
"just bring shorts. its skins verses shirts your on my team the skins." mark replied before anthony sped off home.
30 monites later anthony comes back riden his bike shirtless and in shorts. many of the girls around saw him go by flock to the soccer field. kara found herself ogoling him. she noticed he had a small medalion on his necklace, as he got closer she reliazed it was a sheild of wood, just like the one she made escudo. but thats impossible she thought she made that as a young girl even though she was 2 years old she was a small child in the eyes of humans. she walked closer to him to examine further when she caught a glimpse of a scar on his side. it was the same one she bandaged on escudo. she stopped dead in her tracks there was no way anthony was escudo he would have to be old. she turned towards alice and jasper. "jasper is it possible for someone to not age 50 years at all?" she asked him
"well what do you mean. vampires dont age werewolfs wont as long as they are near vampires."he replied
i mean if their not vampire or werewolf could they?" she asked again for she knew escudo wasn't vampire nore did he have the bulk to be werewolf or were anything. she looked over her shoulder to see keely swooning over anthony raging stirred inside her and she didnt understand why.
jasper cleared his throat. "jealous much kara?" he asked.
"no"
"liar your giving off angry waves. why are you so intrested in anthony now." he asked
"he reminds me of a man i used to know long ago." she replied
"hmmm so you think this man here is from your past?" jasper asked
"i dont know but i plan to find out." she re,arks as she walks towards anthony
"mmmmm anthony why dont you show us your body more, your ripped." kelly purred in his ear
"Why so you can stare at me more?" he replied.
" maybe" kelly replied back blushing, turning slightly away from him to hide the smile that turned to a scowl as kara walked forward. who invited you emo girl?"
"myself got a problem?" kara shot back
"if u two start fighting i will tie you to a damn tree." anthony interupted them "neither of u can stand ground with eachother."
kara stared at anthony recognizing the phrase from so long ago, kelly merly took as a sexual joke,"mmmmmm anthony-kun that sounds so fun." kelly said flirtatiously.
anthony gave her a weird look " not in your best dream or my worst would i ever do somthing like that. i have patience and think things through i dont go jumping into the sack with people for their looks so i guess that eliminates you kelly."
"why i never" she retorted stomping off.
"yes i'm sure you've never been shot down. hopefully she learns." he said to himself not realising kara is still next to him.
"it is you."kara said looking at anthony "escudo i thought you were dead." walking closer to him placing a hand on his scar.
"I... I dont know what your talking about." anthony said backing away to the woods.
"no you have to be him. he is the only one who knew my favorite flower or those quotes you just said. i know your escudo." kara said inching cloer "and tht necklace around your neck i made that for him, the only one."
"i have to go. i have to do stuff." anthony said jumping on his dirt bike riding into the woods.
that weekend
he watched her walk around the house. talkin with her family. she had truely grown up since he left her 45 years had been there by her side for 5 years since the day he found was so small only a week old he had been told to kill those that were a disgrace of vampires everywhere. he himself wasnt one though he was of a long line of immortals. cursed to walk this planet because of his ancestors made a pack with their god for unlimited wealth if they killed the ones who defide their god. his ancestors failed their part of the deal some dieng others felleing from battle. problem was he himself didnt know who his ancestors enemies were so he cldnt end the curse. his brother an sister were all he had left and they were turned vampire. he didnt want to be one so instead he made a pact with aro as long as he could be with his brother and sister he would do as they said. but that changed those 45 years ago. kara was the last of the half breed family he was charged to kill. but when he saw her curled up in the corner or her little house in portigul something in him changed he realized he couldn't hurt this girl. she was crying when he came in he told her he would protect her and teach her to live. she was a great student picking up every little detail he showed her. she was a trained tracker now almost as good as him.
he looked up shacking himself from his thoughts. she was dancing with alice in the living room, edward playing the piano, the rest sitting down laughing watching the danicing or the game on tv. she was so beautiful, gracfull as a panther an as lethal too. he left because he realized she loved him and the voulturi were looking for him. he ran he didnt want her hurt or killed. he was glad she found a family to be with. he hugged his cloak tighter the bow and arrows pressed against his back. angeli. his angel from so long ago. it pained him to deny who he was infront of her. the feel of her hands on his scare with him with turned away feeling himself wanting her, the farther away he was the harder it got to deny her. he wanted her back but knew if he did they would find her. he couldnt go back they would kill him for desertion. he was considered a liability, he knew to much about the world of vampires. he pushed that thought back. he would not allow harm to kara.
he jumped down from the tree walking into the forest. she saw him standing on the branched. watching him deep in thought. she knew it was anthony, her escudo. he was watching over her. she smiled remebering the days he would leave her to practice her survival skills in the jungles. he would watch her from the trees when he thougt she wasnt looking. the scares on his side were from a boars charge when she went hunting. he says he wasnt paying attention but she knew he stood infront of the boar to protect her. he was her sheild from harm. she loved him, he was her sheild, her rock, her support, the only man she ever loved and in her travels she met many who came on to her but would have to shut away. she would have him back one way or another.
